Chambley Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'le Champagnois,' an immigrant from the province of Champagne. Chamney, &c, are variants of Champney, which see. From Yorkshire it passed into Furness, where for centuries Chamney or Chamley has been a familiar surname. Besides the original Champney, the first three following are specimens of entries in my old church-books at Ulverston:

1546. Baptised — Isabell Chamney: Reg. Ulverston Ch.

1547. Buried — John Chamney: ibid.

1696. — Joyce Chamley: ibid.

James Champney, of the parish of Ulverston, 1631: Wills at Richmond.

James Chamney, of Ulverston, 1596: ibid.

Henry Chamley, of Dalton-in-Furness, 1672: ibid.

1565. Francis Wolman and Margaret Chamley: Marriage Lic. (London).

1593-4. Christopher Taylor and Ann Chambly: ibid.

In the form of Chambney this surname went out to Virginia in 1635 (v. Hotten's Lists of Emigrants). It is found in Boston as Chamley, and at Philadelphia as Chambley. The change from 'n' to 'l' or vice versa is common; compare balusters and banisters, the latter being modern.
